NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (which governs Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; left as published by the City, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT, Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; Kaysville Design Criteria already correctly reflects 2023; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized in Kaysville's own Design Criteria page or elsewhere on kaysville.gov, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); CURRENT as of 7/1/2026, supersedes the 2021 edition referenced in this file's Residential Pool Permit entry, which had not been updated as of 2026-07-16; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Kaysville's Design Criteria page (kaysville.gov/750/Design-Criteria) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and is ALREADY CORRECT — it states verbatim 'The 2021 IRC as adopted by the State of Utah Title 15A' for residential, and 'The 2024 IBC, IMC, IFC, IPC, IFGC, IECC, Etc, and the 2023 NEC as adopted by the State of Utah' for commercial (Kaysville does not separately itemize IEBC or ISPSC on this page). This file's earlier codesAdopted entries (rev. pre-2026-07-16) were stale relative to Kaysville's own already-updated page; both are now aligned to 2024/2021/2023 per statute. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation in the sources array below has been updated to the current in-force version link. Local amendments apply — see the Kaysville overview page for the full list.
